[00:06] Nope [00:06] I don't like windows [00:06] ahh [00:06] my gaming adictions are gettin in the way of migration though [00:06] i love my windows for gaming but for my server ubuntu is insanely more efficient [00:07] thats what I hear and why I am desiring the migrate [00:07] lol well i just lost 15tb of my server today but it was mostly just me being dumb [00:08] it is well worth the speed increases i saw [00:08] there are somethings I like with windows, like being able to shut it off [00:08] shut what off? [00:08] but mostly I am a Unix lover, just with I knew more about the Unix OS and the c\variants [00:08] I like How Windows can be shut off [00:08] i havent used linux in like 15 years but wte its time [00:08] it always works [00:09] I dislike the immature behavoirs foundin Windows Gamers too [00:10] they remind me of Angry xBox users lol [00:10] what games [00:10] I am not Picky really [00:10] elite dangerous has been my favorite game for a while and it has really mature users, mostly international too [00:10] !ot | ezs-floggin-pipe Mibix [00:10] ezs-floggin-pipe Mibix: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

I love the snow.

[00:40] reisio, yeah not sure why [00:40] i checked to make sure it worked on rufus [00:41] c-pin: how did you create it? [00:41] xangua, rufus [00:41] same way i made the solus one [00:41] tnhen again i used a 32gb usb... [00:41] l/emme try this 8gb one === ben_r1 is now known as ben_r [00:43] writing to usb. wml [00:43] c-pin: It's quite likely that the USB drive has just gone bad. [00:43] c-pin: Also, please don't use "retard" as a derogetory term in this channel. [00:44] Jordan_U, good news is it shows up fine in windows [00:44] as a drive and i can format it [00:47] <_Sym_> Well,Thunar is not crashing like Nautilus was when I use the delete key on my keyboard. [00:47] <_Sym_> Something is funky with Nautilus on 16.04 [00:49] hello world [00:49] hello, world [00:49] can u read me? [00:49] c-pin: so gnu/linux is on it right now? [00:49] MisterPizza: I read you [00:50] great [00:51] Chromecast on Ubuntu 16.04? Which one, if any, works for streaming your whole desktop to a TV? I thought I saw that was possible on Linux? [00:52] Any Chrome browsers does full remote desktop emulation... which is a blessing or a curse. [00:52] so gen1 and gen 2 puffinz? [00:53] for the Chromecast Device itself puffinz? [00:53] It all depends what you want to use your chromecast for [00:53] reisio, yeah [00:54] Personally id by a SoC device and install whatever you want [00:54] solus is still booting, xubuntu doesnt like it or sometnhing [00:54] puffinz: well mostly watching youtube anyway, but some Kodi? would that display? [00:54] ah [00:54] the leds flash but it boots directly to solus at lowest prioritp [00:54] guys u know how make it work sopcast for ubuntu? [00:55] c-pin: if you have /boot/grub, you can just tell grub to boot an install image directly [00:55] like a RaspberryPi as a SoC puffinz and just control it that way? We are using a laptop and a bukly HDMI cable ,but it is doing damage to the HDMI port on this laptop [00:55] reisio, mmm thats a good idea [00:55] the fact that it WONT boot though is what scares me [00:55] because that prcobably means its not compatible with my system [00:55] there are a lot of variables [00:55] i remake question, u know how see sports event live streaming with good quality? [00:56] Yeah, theres lots of neat multimedia devices out there.... chromecast is nice. its cheap. [00:56] whether the usb stick is good, whether the image is good, whether you're copying it right, whether your bios/etc. is configured properly, whether your usb ports are sound/normal, etc., etc. [00:56] set up plex on a pi 2 [00:56] I usually use MythTV [00:56] MisterPizza: doesn't sound like an ubuntu issue [00:56] and the raspberry pi [00:56] Ben64 Ubuntu has not issues [00:56] :) [00:56] Ok thanks puffinz we might go grab a chromecast.. I use raspberrypi on my setup, but trying to make it easy on her for her stuff [00:59] i dont want break rules of chat, (mostly because i dont know them) anyway i ask you that u know many tricks of web if is possible see sports events live with good quality with ubuntu (obviously) [01:00] i apologize if my question is forbidden, i didnt know it [01:01] i asked one of common stuff, that everyone is interested in [01:01] seriously i dont know if i asked something forbidden [01:01] MisterPizza: this channel is for ubuntu issues only [01:02] yes i ask for a software using under ubuntu [01:02] ok doesnt matter [01:02] lets talk of something else [01:03] im new of linux [01:03] on* [01:03] first distro installed as been ubuntu for me [01:03] i know nothing about ubuntu [01:04] !manual | MisterPizza [01:04] MisterPizza: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

[01:10] /join #ubuntu-offtopic [01:10] ^ [01:10] thank [01:10] bye [01:17] Hello all [01:18] Im looking at a usb wifi adapter for an ancient laptop runnin Lubuntu, but only WIndows is listed in the spec page http://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/wifi-adapters/a6210.aspx#tab-techspecs [01:18] any chance of this working for me? [01:19] I'm running Ubuntu as a guest in qemu, does anyone know about the screen resoultion, for the display manager, when you log in with your user at this display, where it's drawing the size of the screen resolution from? Because in qemu it's filling up my entire host desktop size, but when I log in, and I'm in Unity have the correct desktop resolution appear... [01:24] !wifi | MWM [01:24] MWM: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:25] thanks [01:25] Eric^^ [01:25] you around? [01:27] whatever we did last night messed up the entire system [01:27] i cant even see my harddrive no more [01:27] and only can get ubuntu to use uefi [01:27] if i use legacy i get a error [01:27] Invaild boot partiton [01:32] Anyone know a way to fix this? [01:38] @ avoider : is a fresh install an option? sounds like things are janked pretty bad. [01:38] hopefully someone can give you better help though [02:06] how can I redirect an http request from port 80 to another one for a specific domain on my local machine? [02:11] Ok, been running Redhat/fedora since dawn of time. Just installed Ubuntu on server that I built from scrap. I dont hate it. So whats the trade off? [02:11] Where is the nasty little problem? [02:12] Knemon: sounds like you want a reverse proxy perhaps. [02:12] Knemon: can you give a more specific example of what you want to do? [02:14] wedgie, I am developing an app locally - so I created a local domain localhost.dev that binds to 127.0.0.1. my app is on http://localhost.dev:3000. What I want is this: type http://localhost.dev and redirect me on port 3000 [02:15] Knemon: and only 1 app? For example you'll never want to go to http://app2.localhost.dev and get redirected to port 4000? [02:16] if not, then this will probably be useful: http://askubuntu.com/questions/444729/redirect-port-80-to-8080-and-make-it-work-on-local-machine If you DO need to have more than one app being sent to different ports then you may want to look into a reverse proxy. Nginx can do that sort of thing [02:16] maybe [02:17] better way would be to put it on port 80, or just type blah:4000 [02:17] wedgie, I am running a custom httpd [02:17] Knemon: shouldn't matter. Reverse proxy would go in front of that [02:18] hmm [02:18] I am not quite sure how to implement the reverse proxy. I will look into it too [02:18] it'll take some reading but it isn't too terrible [02:18] so make it simpler and just type the proper port, or change the port to 80 [02:19] Knemon: and if it's a one-off you can just use a iptables rule like in the link i sent you [02:21] iptables is more appealing but the Nginx solution seems solid [02:22] iptables is definitely the faster/easier solution. But a reverse proxy will be more robust if you need to have several different applications, all available from port 80 [02:23] reverese proxy is what i use [02:24] easy peazy [02:24] can even give it a nice url rewrite if needed [02:32] Hey folks. Does anyone have experience with ubuntu on raspberry pi? [02:33] I'm attempting to install mudlet and having poor luck. [02:39] ghostcartpi: how does it fail? [02:41] i'm not sure which architecture raspi is. if it's armhf this would be why the package is not available. it is available for arm64, though. [02:41] hmm [02:42] the odd thing is that it's available on the raspbian repo [02:42] sudo apt-get install mudlet [02:42] works out of the bo [02:42] box [02:42] then what doesn't work? [02:42] here I [02:43] I'll get the exact message [02:46] Package mudlet is not available, but is referred to by another package. [02:46] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [02:46] is only available from another source [02:46] E: Package 'mudlet' has no installation candidate [02:46] tomreyn, I'm attempting to install on ubuntu-mate, not raspbian [02:47] what does "uname -mp" return [02:47] Would it be possible to create an image of an installed lubuntu distro and use that in a virtual machine? [02:48] arm71 armv71 [02:49] er [02:49] armv71 armv1l [02:49] 7l [02:49] bleh [02:49] we get it [02:49] package isn't available on that architecture [02:50] that's weird [02:50] can I make it myself? [02:50] you can try [02:50] ghostcartpi: i don't know whether those packages are stored. packages.ubuntu.com only seems to know about armhf and am64. [02:50] i mean *where* not *whether*. [02:51] Hmm. Would be a deal breaker if I couldn't get mudlet on this OS, which is a shame. [02:52] it needs QT4.4+ [02:53] The question I asked, is it a sane or insane question? === ColdKeyboard is now known as ColdKeyboard_a [02:58] how do i check if i have a virus? [02:59] suppose I'll go back to raspbian for now [02:59] thanks for the input [03:00] ubuntu just looks so much better than it [03:00] * ghostcartpi sighs [03:01] my keyboard and mouse stopped working. luckily i have a touchscreen [03:04] Anyone by chance using Ubuntu in qemu? I've noticed that the login display, not sure if this is LightDM, but the resolution of it is huge, when using qemu, the login display fills up my entire screen, when I have grub set at 1440x900 and Unity set for the same resolution... [03:04] I can't seem to get the login display to appear at the same size... [03:05] has anyone here had a linux virus? [03:05] The idea is to have a nice cheap netbook [03:05] and I was hoping to use ubuntu [03:06] What would be the best way to setup remote login on my ubuntu home server === Bray90820_ is now known as Bray90820 [03:07] can someone running ubuntu 16.04 or thereabouts pastebin the script that is /usr/bin/rgrep please? [03:07] I have a lot of trouble with network manager crashing .... [03:07] I was wondering if anyone could help me out in where to look at it [03:08] and what I can do to investigate its problems [03:08] i removed the stock grep version and have replaced with a newer version built from source which doesnt provide rgrep - anyone put it in a pastebin for me? [03:09] my computer mysteriously just shut off and when i turned it on again it was screwed up. [03:09] gmcastil: rgrep is grep [03:09] Ben64: i know, but i'd like the script so that i can replace it verbatim [03:10] I only have 2 lines in my rgrep file. [03:10] probably shouldn't have deleted it [03:10] Ben64: not sure what i'm going to be installing will require its presence [03:10] CodeHunterEx: what are those lines plz? [03:10] #!/bin/sh [03:10] exec grep -r "$@" [03:10] sorry for the 'plz' i've been playing a lot of video games lately [03:10] ok thats what i thought it had been thanks [03:11] I am runnin Lubuntu 16.04 64bit [03:11] You're welcome [03:11] nobody has a command to check the keyboard and mouse? something? anything!? [03:12] USB keyboard/mouse? [03:13] Ben64: believe it or not, i had a perfectly valid reason to do so [03:13] not if you need the file now you don't [03:14] i didnt realize grep didnt provide rgrep [03:15] willsketchupwork, Silly question, but have ya tried to disconnect/reconnect them? (if they are USB) [03:15] willsketchupwork: xev should show if the keypresses are being detected [03:16] what is the name of the ubuntu utility that switches default programs like awk / mawk / yacc / etc. ? [03:19] it is a laptop. also my browser is opening new new windows when i just want tabs. all this strange activity makes me suspect something malicious. [03:19] willsketchupwork: time to format and reinstall then [03:21] that is the thing i can't remember my bios password. maybe a new motherboard. [03:21] willsketchupwork: try creating a new user first and seeing if the same problem exists on that one [03:21] no idea where your browser stores its junk, but you might try getting rid of all that too [03:21] like a superuser? [03:24] in ubuntu 15.04 after waking my laptop the wireless doesn't connect and the network manager appears blank in the gnome systems menu, when I kill networkmanager, the dhclient, and the dnsmasq and then restart network manager it restarts without any problems [03:25] skweek: 15.04 lost support nearly a year ago, it's not safe to use [03:25] whats the utility to swap dash for bash, gawk for awk, etc? [03:26] i think i am going to have to reset my mobo somehow and reinstall. do you think it would be safd to save my wine directory? [03:26] Ben64: right, sorry I meant 16.04 [03:27] BBl gonna reboot to try an experiment. [03:27] Do Ubuntu users have girlfriends? [03:29] i mean i dont think i have any other options [03:29] may68: I do, but she's pretty sick of me talking about my preferred Linux distros [03:29] may68: yep, and not only is she sitting right here, I'm chatting on her Ubuntu Linux laptop! [03:29] update-alternatives [03:29] thanks folks [03:30] may68: she does _not_ have an opinion about systemd [03:30] !ot | may68 [03:30] may68: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[03:30] lets get back to ubuntu support please [03:33] i guess i could do one more update and upgrade reboot and see what happens. [03:35] Can someone do me a favor? Whats it say for distrib_codename under 16.10 16.04 in /etc/lsb-release? [03:35] this really really sucks. [03:35] hello [03:36] how can i uncompress a tar.xz file and create a dir for it? [03:39] you sure Ben64 [03:39] still didnt work [03:39] can you just show me your line? [03:39] what are you doing [03:39] im on linux mint trying to get intel-graphics-update-tool to run [03:39] but it says distro not supported [03:39] then go to the mint channel, this is for ubuntu [03:39] trying to put what it wantsin lsb-release [03:39] uhh all I am asking for is that line in someone lsb-release file [03:39] not looking for any answers [03:39] to a question [03:39] uh, you're on mint, stop trying to get support here [03:39] I am not asking for support [03:39] you literally are [03:39] I am asking for what the ubuntu file says [03:39] Byan: what were you looking for? [03:39] which is a ubuntu question [03:39] and i told you, now go away [03:39] what the DISTRIB_CODENAME says in lsb-release on ubuntu gmcastil [03:39] like it would literally take one of you 5 seconds to tell me [03:39] I DID [03:40] you copy and pasted your line? [03:40] now stop doing stupid crap and go get support in the proper place which you obviously need [03:40] man I am going to be super pissed at you if you didnt actually copy your line [03:40] I am following the support instructions for mint but they are outdated [03:40] lets stay polite here please [03:41] !mint | Byan [03:41] Byan: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [03:41] Byan xenial [03:41] stop asking for mint support here Byan [03:41] i dont really see how he's asking for mint support [03:41] its DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial gmcastil ? [03:41] he's asking what something in ubuntu happens to be because he's on mint === Bashing-1m is now known as Bashing-om [03:42] thanks gmcastil [03:42] nonetheless mint support is where he needs to be [03:42] bazhang: not if he's asking about things specific to Ubuntu [03:42] I didnt ask a single mint question [03:42] I was trying to get help for Ubuntu, even though i'm not using it [03:42] not that anyone cared - too busy trolling people for asking questions about Ubuntu [03:43] gmcastil: then you shouldn't be asking your questions here either [03:43] Ben64: where would you suggest i ask people about ubuntu's update-alternatives then? [03:43] if you're not using ubuntu why ask here [03:43] sorry folks, get as butt hurt as you want but asking ubuntu questions in ubuntu channel is legit. I'm running a windows 7 box to use IRC right now, does that mean I dont belong here? [03:44] the guy clearly wanted to know what ubuntu's output for that was, he stated such [03:44] syroth: you didn't ask a windows7 question [03:44] neither did i ask a Fedora question nor did Byan ask a Mint question [03:44] he did though [03:44] true, but he was specifically asking for a line form an ubuntu OS he stated he was using mint [03:45] and as far as I can tell, you arent really able to answer questions anyway, so i'm not sure why i'm listening to you [03:47] oh well I give up === CompuDesktop is now known as Compu [03:49] hah figured it out [03:53] when was the last time someone with a virus asked for help? [03:55] no clue bud, not so common on the *nix side of computing === cigumo_ is now known as cigumo [04:12] Anyone around? [04:12] Having troubles being able to boot anthing from usb after install ubuntu [04:13] you mean windows [04:13] yeah [04:13] well anything tbh [04:13] I mainly want windows but i cant boot anything [04:13] well you still need to get support for booting windows in ##windows [04:13] Lets talk about ubuntu okay? [04:14] It wont even allow me to boot that as i tried. [04:14] then you're doing it wrong [04:14] So your telling me the DD command is wrong? [04:14] i don't know what you did, but if it isn't working, you did something incorrectly [04:14] The dd command is very simple and stright foward [04:15] avoider, The dd command is not part of the Ubuntu installer. [04:15] It writes the image to usb tho [04:15] avoider: what exactly did you do [04:15] I used several diff tools [04:15] what did you do to boot ubuntu [04:16] no matter what i do it will always give me Invaild boot device or Invaild boot partation [04:16] please note - getting ubuntu usb to boot won't help you with windows [04:16] so if you're just here wasting time, stop now [04:16] Did you overwrite your boot device? [04:16] Ben64, please show some respect! [04:16] i am [04:17] avoider, Did you overwrite your boot device using the dd command? [04:17] Now, what my plans wwhere to try to re install ubuntu to live version and erase all the partations [04:17] but i cant even do that. [04:17] avoider: what would that accomplish [04:17] to get rid of grub? [04:17] avoider: and what would that accomplish [04:17] and w.e else it did to my hdd [04:17] * tekeli-li out [04:18] hi what's up? [04:18] Not much [04:18] I'm waiting for lunch [04:18] well.. can any1 help me with thunderbird config?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [04:19] avoider: it isn't [04:19] before i put linux on here [04:19] i never had a issue [04:19] booting anything [04:19] so it is! [04:19] avoider: as you were told many many many many many times already, booting a usb has nothing to do with anything on your hard drive [04:19] Then why cant i boot any os? [04:20] because you're doing something incorrectly [04:20] So the tools in "software" and the "dd" command are trash then? you saying [04:20] ? [04:20] !patience [04:20] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [04:20] again, i don't know what you did [04:20] hahah [04:20] crazy person detected [04:20] multiwriter and unetbottin trash apps? [04:21] There is not much wrong to do when writing a bootable image to a usb mate. [04:21] i'm just telling you the facts, grub and anything else on a hard drive will have zero effect on booting a usb [04:21] Stop acting like its a big thing [04:21] lol [04:21] So tell me what app should i use? [04:21] suggest you dial back the attitude there, amigo [04:21] lol [04:21] okay.. i'm having a problem with tb... i can't find a way to set up a correctly working "reply with template" filter.. can any1 help me?
